The Jacksonville Jaguars escaped with an overtime win in Las Vegas on Sunday and head down to Texas to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 10.
Houston is coming off a home loss to Denver, but perhaps more importantly, it lost C.J. Stroud to a possible concussion.
Can Houston bounce back at home against the Jaguars?
Here’s a breakdown of the odds, a player to watch, betting trends and my prediction for this matchup in Week 10.

Jaguars Injury ReportTexans Injury ReportTravis Etienne Jr., Running Back, Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Etienne has been one of the consistent pieces in the Jaguars’ offense this season. He ranks eighth in the league with 598 rushing yards through eight games, and is coming off an 84-yard performance in Las Vegas.
Etienne had struggled in the three games before that with 44, 27, and 49 yards, and it’ll be an uphill battle again in Houston.
The Texans allow the fewest total yards per game with 267.4, including the sixth-fewest rushing yards at 89.9 per contest.
Houston’s defense is going to need to step up even more now if C.J. Stroud is to miss any amount of time. The Texans’ playoff hopes are dwindling at 3-5, although there is an outside chance that they could get in as a wild card.
Jacksonville exploded for 30 points in Las Vegas, but that shouldn’t be the case in Houston. The Jaguars were held to seven points by the Rams and 12 by the Seahawks in their previous two games, and that’s more likely to be the outcome in this one.
The Jaguars beat the Texans 17-10 back in Week 3, and this should be a similarly low-scoring game on Sunday afternoon.
Pick: Under 37.5 (-108)
